Dua Lipa opened up about starting a family with her fiancé Callum Turner amid a smash-hit world tour and another album in the works for the pop superstar.

"I'd love to have kids one day," she told the publication. "But it's like the constant question of when would there ever be a good time – how it would fit in with my job and how it would work if I went on tour, and how much time out I'd have to take."
"I think it's just one of those things that's going to happen when it happens. I love kids, but I think there's so much more to raising a child than just loving children," she said.

"This decision to grow old together, to see a life and just, I don't know, be best friends forever – it's a really special feeling," she explained.
"I'm obsessed with [the ring]. It's so me," Dua added. "It's nice to know the person that you're going to spend the rest of your life with knows you very well."
Wedding bells

"I want to finish my tour, Callum's shooting, so we're just enjoying this period," she said. "I've never been someone who's really thought about a wedding or dreamt about what kind of bride I would be. All of a sudden I'm like: 'Oh, what would I wear?'"
Dua and Callum first met at The River Café in London, and again in Los Angeles where a connection sparked between them.

The Boys in the Boat star is smitten with his fiancée, sharing that he wanted to spend eternity with her at the Sundance Film Festival in January, as per Us Weekly.
A new era

"I turn 30 in August, and I've been thinking about it a lot because your 20s are just so tumultuous in the way you think about yourself and your body," she explained to the publication. "And I don't know, now I feel like I've come to a place – I've become better at taking care of myself and working out and dancing."
"I feel the most confident I've ever felt. I feel very empowered and strong in my body," she added. "There's just so much of that that makes me really proud of my body and the way it holds me."
